        They already rooted for that anti-Putin group that attacked Belgorod, Russian Freedom Legion or something, that was full of Nazis.

        And of course right before the invasion happened, they said Azov were Nazis, but that was okay, because they were good Nazis that defended their country. Later, Western media started saying Azov weren't Nazis "anymore".

          The insane part is that actual (supposed) communist groups blew up Russian rails transporting military equipment during the war. But no western liberal ever praised them. The news reported it for one second before pivoting back to Ukraine

            I remember that happening, but...the groups were communist? Do you have any articles or anything on this? I don't think Western media said anything about them being communist. Not saying you're wrong, just that...you know Western media.

              So I don’t know if these guys are the specific ones I’m thinking about, but they are anarchocommunists apparntly.

              Most mainstream news (like maybe 1-2) outlets only mention the anarchist part. Others don’t report this at all. But it may be a different group because I remember more outlets were reporting on the other time

      Yes. Then all the sudden about 3 months ago the western media stsrted to make him a star in their propaganda games for these so called grandiose speeches critizing Putin for not pushing further and giving resources.

      Now he's flipped teams? Wouldn't trust anything out of western media face value. Theater.
